  • Wreck of the Southampton & Vixen
    The British 32-gun frigate Southampton (Captain Sir James Lucas Yeo) and the captured ship in tow, The American 14-gun brig Vixen Lippold Haken’s pictures of the War of 1812 Shipwreck near Conception Island, Bahamas I was on a summer 2004 R/V Sea Dragon dive trip that included Conception Island, Bahamas. We spent a few days diving on the Southampton reef line. I thoroughly love the variety and beauty of that reef (please see my slide show at http://www.cerlsoundgroup.org/Bahamas/), and could not get enough of it. After many hours of enjoyable diving I was snorkeling and discovered a large number of cannons nestled among beautiful corals. Here are three picture of one of the cannons I saw: 334 More cannons (and remains of armor plating in some of the pictures): It was a beautiful scene, so I tried to remember my path as I snorkeled the quarter mile back to the Sea Dragon. When I described what I had seen, Captain Dan was excited – he had been looking for the wreck of the famed 1812 British frigate Southampton and its ship-in-tow, the American brig Vixen for years. I am not certain he believed what I described (Capt. Dan has heard a lot of fish stories!), but he wanted to check it out. I was happy able to find the wreck again – it is not easy, because the reef is extensive with deep chasms in shallow coral extending above the water. Here is a picture from the snorkel back to the wreck: As you can guess from the picture above, it is difficult to keep your bearings when you are snorkeling through passageways and coral tunnels.

As a midshipman of the Honourable East India ship Warren Hastings, Captain Larkins, he assisted in the gallant defence made by the homeward bound fleet of Indiamen against the attack of the French Squadron under Command of Admiral Linois, in the Line of Battle ship Marengo and Belle Poule, frigate, when they succeeded in beating off the French squadron and bring home the tea laden fleet of ships to safety. For this service the senior Captain (Dance) was Knighted and the East India Company awarded the Officers and crews of the ships the sum of half a million of money.

  • Amphibious Warfare During the War of 1812
    LESSONS FROM THE PAST LESSONS FROM THE PAST Peter Rindlisbacher, CSMA Rindlisbacher, Peter The Battle of Lake Erie, by Peter Rindlisbacher. BREAKING THE Stalemate: AMPHIBIOUS Warfare DURING THE WAR OF 1812 Jean-François Lebeau Introduction he War of 1812 is remembered for both its pitched land battles (i.e., Queenston Heights and New Orleans) and its famous sea battles between the Royal TNavy (RN) and the United States Navy (USN). Yet, these famous engagements are only a small fraction of all the battles fought during the war. It has been suggested that the War of 1812 more closely resembled the First World War than its contemporary, the Napoleonic Wars. The hardships of the Upper Canadian wilderness and the American Northwest demonstrated that winter and disease were as much the enemy as the opposing military. The war continued for two-and-a-half years until the Treaty of Ghent 0022792 NYC Collection, The Granger in 1814 ended hostilities. Although this war has been exhaustively studied, one aspect British and American Diplomats Signing the Treaty of Ghent, 24 December 1814, by Forestier that remains relatively unknown is the extensive use of amphibious warfare. In fact, many of the Lieutenant (N) G.J.F.

The Third US Artillery and the Battle of Oswego 1814 We respect your email privacy Powered by AWeber Autoresponder The Medievalverse Newsletter 3 2 Share Matthew MacVittie (Curator, Onondaga Historical Association, Syracuse, NY) Abstract The early months of 1814 witnessed a shipbuilding-race on Lake Ontario. The British Commodore James Lucas Yeo constructed a squadron of frigates while the American Commodore Isaac Chauncey countered by building their own squadron which threatened to outgun and over-power the British on Lake Ontario. Accordingly, early in May 1814, Yeo decided to attack Fort Ontario to seize the 30 plus guns believed to be stored there en route to the naval-yard at Sackets Harbor. Opposing Yeo was Major George Mitchell of the Third US Artillery. Fort Ontario was in a state of disarray and neglect as government had allowed the post to become antiquated and ill equipped to fight off a well-armed adversary. However, Mitchell and his 242 men (along with 25 sailors and roughly 200 Militiamen) prepared for an all-out British assault and fortified the post against the stronger and better-armed opponent. This paper takes a look at both sides of the battle, its major players, and why it is still considered to be both a victory for the British and American Forces.

Northeast Historical Archaeology/Vol. 44, 2015 133 The Sunken Vessels of Chauncey and Yeo in Lake Ontario Ben Ford Naval power was central to controlling the Great Lakes and, by extension, the interior of North America during the War of 1812. On Lake Ontario, the naval conflict took the form of an arms race with virtually no actual engagements. As a result, few vessels were lost during the war. With the signing of the Rush-Bagot Agreement, however, both belligerents sold vessels and put others in storage, resulting in the wrecks of lost or abandoned war vessels all over the lake. Many of these vessels have been located and studied over the last century. This paper reviews the vessels that have been studied, discusses what has been and what can be learned from these vessels, and notes some of the shipwrecks that are still to be found.

  • Lieutenant Hawksworth and the Magnet Affair
    Lieutenant Hawksworth and the Magnet Affair Gary M. Gibson Introduction On 5 October 1813, the American naval squadron on Lake Ontario, commanded by Commodore Isaac Chauncey, intercepted an unescorted British troop convoy off the Ducks Islands. Of the seven sloops and schooners in the convoy, five were captured by Chauncey, one was burned by her crew to avoid capture and only the schooner Elizabeth reached Kingston. This success delighted Chauncey but dismayed the British naval commander, Commodore Sir James Lucas Yeo.1 Yeo’s distress was not only due to the capture of the troops on board: the two flank companies of the DeWatteville regiment and small detachments from other units, but by the loss of the six vessels. They composed the majority of the British transport capacity on Lake Ontario and their loss forced Yeo to use a part of his squadron as armed transports the following year. This would have a serious impact on the life and career of a young Royal Navy midshipman who, at the time the convoy was lost, was on his way up the St. Lawrence River to Kingston: George Sarver Hawksworth.2 Abbreviations used in the notes: Army Letters NAUS, RG 107, Letters Received by the Secretary of the Army, Registered Series, H-78(8), film M221 roll 62.
